Crochet Pattern: Hourglass Scarf

The weather is only just starting to get cooler, so you have time to stay two steps ahead of the falling temperatures. This skinny scarf is just open enough to balance out the warmth of your yarn. The tall stitches work up quickly, so you can work on it in the afternoon and drape it around your neck the same evening.

Janet, you start by making 6 chains. Then you turn and make a double crochet stitch into the third chain from the hook. Then you double crochet into the next stitch and again double crochet into the stitch after that. You wil end with 3 DC stitches and then you can continue with the next row.

I hope that helps

PS Rachel has very clear instructions about the double crochet and chain on her website.

Any stitch ending in tog(ether) in a decrease. In this case you are combining the next three stitches into one dtr (the same way a dc2 tog turns the next 2 stitches into 1 dc) To decrease any stitch, work the stitch until the second to last step (before you draw through all loops) then move on to the next stitch and repeat for however many stitches you are decreasing then draw through all loops.

Ashley …… I finally gave up trying to figure it out. Being in a hurry to complete the scarf, I opted to simply forget about the hoursglass patterns and work the entire thing in dtr stitches from beginning to end. I’m happy with the finished product but I hated giving up on the pattern as written.
